Good build list?

mikedigitales · 1 Aug 2014 at 18:42

Hey guys - any suggestions on improving this build? Reusing a Nanoxia Deep Silence One case, and Seasonic x-1250w (overkill but not worth selling to rebuy) and make's SLI an option in the future again. Will be using a Dell U2713HM 2560x1440.

Tempting to save the £20 - but liked the reviews on the Creative Sound Core HD bit on the Sniper

I'd stretch £20 for the DHS Edition of the INNO3D 780, which comes with a binned chip. Give you far more overclocking headroom which would be very handy for gaming at 2560 x 1440. When overclocked it can reach 780Ti (reference @ stock) levels.

Didn't know about the DHS version thanks Danny. Might be a tough sell to the guy I'm building for though, I think he was going for the MSI until I helped with some of the parts picking.

Or you could go the sensible route and get a 290

1 x MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £299.99
1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11227-00-40G) £299.99

Nah I tried pitching a 290 to him but he's vetoed it

You should show him this review of the Sapphire Vapor-X 290. It might change his mind :cool:

It costs £20 less than the MSI GTX 780.

Nope it's not a review thing, it's a 780 or nothing, shame I know.

Has anyone got any experience of service/warranty help from Inno3D? Never bought anything made by them before

I never had any issues with my Inno3D 780. Fantastic cooler and the best overclocking card I've ever had.
Why you'd go for a 290 over one I'll never know :/
